Hope everyone had a good weekend. Our M Pivs and W Pivs are resetting today, how cool is that
There should be some good targets this week though

Good luck to you and all!

I Have been giving a bit more interest to these as of late in terms of the means or magnet play, but find I need to work how to use them into my current style..

Last Months book closed @ 12% in the black with most all trades from 4hr and Daily TF's...Unlike my pass scalping 5 and 15 min..Preety much happy with 12% and man much less stress..

EU... Seams to be coin toss, to Bearish

AU... Looking to re-long..Same plan as last week

GU.. Currently short from 1.5992 ish

Agreed. My H4 30sma is leveling out while my Daily and Weekly charts support a run north. Will be looking for a candle to go long on the M30 or H4. Good Luck

Nice gap this morning and it's is closing up as i type...
Kicking myself for not shorting this morning!

No worries, I didn't take any gaps either. Would have been nice but gaps are seeming to be less and less reliable to me. I took a gap trade once that went hundreds of pips against me before closing. Lesson learned, sticking to my targets.

As Saxon said, those days are over when you could close your eyes and just go for the Gap. Saxon, I do remember the gap you are talking about, I got caught there too. But this one was pretty safe. I only took 50 pips out of it though. RBA rate announcement will create a bit of havoc if rates are changed. It might be buy on rumors and sell on news. I am only short on GU atm, doubled up yesterday, one of them -100 pips the other +45. Lets see how it pans out.
Here are the two charts of the GAP.

Possibly but my weekly chart is still showing bullishness. I'm standing aside until after the cash rate announcement but I will be in bed anyways. I have to be up early tomorrow as I am closing on that house I mentioned a couple weeks ago.

I have taken a small no risk short, market will sell hard after the news, but will pick up again. This is just a short term trade will close soon.

As expected market bought before release of the news and sold straight after. Only made 50 pips. Closed at 1.0390. Still bleeding on GU short.

Hi...
Interesting to see your "before & after" charts, tradoholic.
I watched "the weekend gap" on various trading platforms and it was amazing how different it was… I have noticed some brokers start trading couple of hours before “Syndney” and think those guys are guilty for “gapping”...

Hi Halkins,
The gap finally got filled in. I am long on AU now, short SL. Lets see if I can manage another 50 pips or so.

Yep, looks a bit choppy out there. I also closed off all trades. Finally managed to squeeze in 20 pips out of GU (Combined) and 20 out of AU. No more trades for me till next week, but will keep an eye and will post if I see something good.
Good luck all.
